Carbon Cycle

The biosphere is the reservoir of carbon that contains all life on Earth, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.

True

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the main greenhouse gas discussed.

Animals release carbon dioxide, which plants use for photosynthesis.

False, not all greenhouse gases are harmful; some are essential for life.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen.

Oceans act as a carbon sink, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The greenhouse effect is the warming of Earth's surface due to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, increases carbon dioxide levels.

Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide to mitigate climate change.
